COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State coach Ryan Day has tried to make one thing clear: This season's team is the 2025 Buckeyes, not the defending national champions.
"The team we have currently wants to leave their own legacy. They've made that clear," Day said. "We've said before that we're not defending national champions because we're not defending anything. They can't take the trophy away, but we're looking to add to it and winning a championship with this team."
